For a long time now, /d/ has faced numerous problems, most related to moderation issues. This thread is an attempt to get proper attention brought to these issues and bring solutions to these.
The biggest and most pressing issue /d/ faces is the recent mod-driven shift in /d/'s posting base. For years now /d/ has been a board for General Fetishism, supporting both Eastern and Western art. Recently, the mods have decided that not only is Western art forbidden, but that many fetishes with Japanese art are also banned. This has severely reduced the amount of posters on /d/, as the majority of users have completely jumped ship now that the mods have become openly hostile to the userbase.
This has also slowed the board's speed to less than half of what it once was. This has been an incredibly unpopular move, and the vast majority of the users strongly oppose it, as can be seen from these polls originally posted on /d/:
>Should the ban on Western /d/ be enforced now?
>No - 92%
http://strawpoll.me/5629421/r
>Should we add Western back to /d/?
>Yes - 73%
http://strawpoll.me/5633170/r
(1/2)
>>470600
(2/2)
Additionally, the recent slowdown in posting has exacerbated another longstanding issue with /d/: for years now /d/ has had issues with a very persistent spammer who spams futa content. While other users create singular threads for fetishes, this poster creates up to fifty futa threads at a time. Each thread receives one image every one or two days (most of which have nothing to do with the OP) to bump it to the top of the catalog, which continues until the thread reaches the image limit.
This pushes content from other users off the board. Not only that, but legitimate futa posters dislike this behavior because it slows all the threads to a crawl; many of these users refuse to post in these threads or create new ones because the spammer will drive things off topic.
The moderation deletes duplicate threads of any other fetish, but leaves futa threads alone. This has caused a lot of hostility between futa posters and all others on the board. By ceasing this favoritism and pushing futa threads to consolidate, the entire board would be freed up for more content, and futa threads would be healthier and livelier.
Oh, the irony.
I see this as a problem too. The amount of duplicate threads is present, but the low image amount in the futa threads goes hand in hand with ower amounts of posters. If there is more posters, the low image threads get bumped out solving that, /aco/ was an attempt to fix the east west art, but I think that it should be allowed on both boards but the topic of the board is what determines what thread goes where as well as what you expect to be posted in it. Here, two tentacle threads >>>/aco/401719 and >>>/d/6708706 , the difference is what you expect in style, not what you get, each has a similar topic because it is a fetish, but it differs some how that they are in different boards. Bans are a way of saying you are not welcome here, a way to fix it is make it that it is not bannable, but just let the people tell that person posting it to go to the other board. If its off topic, then a ban is well suited and a different arguement.
>they """"""""fall"""""""" for it
literally everyone on this site is mostly bored all the time
Can we also do something about /aco/? Right now there's a thread up for every single individual character from Steven Universe. The rest of the threads are Futa

Oh, the irony.
Why does /d/ hate fetish discussion?
Serious question.
Was this retarded shit still not fixed yet?
For how long has there been bitching by now?
>>472575
Best part is Hiro was just here and you missed your chance to bump it while he was around. I was sitting here chuckling at your ill fortune.
However, I'm feeling nice today, so since you probably don't look outside this thread, check out this post:

I feel like this is extremely relevant to your goals.

kek. Stay salty /d/ faggot. You will never ever get your board fixed and I'll be laughing all the time

>Recently, the mods have decided that not only is Western art forbidden
That's because /aco/ exists now, and the purpose is to segregate the two. Also, there's still plenty of western art posted on /d/.
>but that many fetishes with Japanese art are also banned
Such as? My /d/ experience hasn't changed at all
>This has severely reduced the amount of posters on /d/

>his has also slowed the board's speed to less than half of what it once was
Because more people are on /aco/
>muh polls
Piss off
I do not understand why so many people whose interests are obviously not aligned with /d/'s want to so desperately root themselves there. Frankly I think western art belongs in the >>>/trash/ but if that's too much to ask just go to >>>/aco/ and play nice with the rest of plebs.

>That's because /aco/ exists now, and the purpose is to segregate the two.
And yet nobody wanted the boards to be split. The people that asked for /aco/ wanted a Western /h/, not /d2/.
>Also, there's still plenty of western art posted on /d/.
That should probably tell you something.
>Such as?
Shortstacks, xenos, big butts, and even robot girls all got kicked over to /aco/.
>My /d/ experience hasn't changed at all
Then I doubt you ever actually used /d/.
>Because they're now on /aco/
>Because more people are on /aco/
Yes, and? It was a split that was
>>muh polls
>Piss off
It's nice that you can accept being in a minority like an adult. Oh wait.
>I do not understand why so many people whose interests are obviously not aligned with /d/'s want to so desperately root themselves there.
The fuck does this mean? /d/ is the fetish board. That's what it's been for years. The only people who wanted it to be a weeb board were the shithead mod and the diaperfags.
>Frankly I think western art belongs in the >>>/trash/ but if that's too much to ask just go to >>>/aco/ and play nice with the rest of plebs.
Weaboos deserve to be lynched like niggers.

I did, though more on that later.
>That should probably tell you something.
It tells me people cannot be arsed to pack up and move next door to where they're welcome. Yes, your drinking fountain is labeled, no that's not the end of the world.
>Shortstacks, xenos, big butts, and even robot girls all got kicked over to /aco/.
If most of the art in those threads was western, I can see why. Though there's still places on /d/ for posting that sort of content, even if it's not it's own niche thread. And again, why is this a problem if it's moved to /aco/?
>Then I doubt you ever actually used /d/.
Doubt all you want, you're wrong.
>It's nice that you can accept being in a minority like an adult. Oh wait.
Your polls are irrelevant, simple as that. 4chan is not a democracy and a poll filled with malcontents agreeing with each other is not a good reason to make it one.
>The fuck does this mean? /d/ is the fetish board. That's what it's been for years.
The board's title was and is Hentai/Alternative. Hentai of course meaning eastern art. There was no space for western porn exclusively so it was tolerated. Now there is a space for it (you're welcome btw ;^) and it's expected you go there for it. Sorry the status quo changed to something you don't like, though again, I don't see the problem with just posting on a different board. The only argument I keep hearing is "this is the way it was, so this is the way it should be" which isn't an argument. There've been plenty of generals asked to move to other boards over the years and none of them have bitched as much as wannabe /d/eviants are now.
>The diaperfags
Funny you should mention that as I happen to be one and I've heard more whining in those threads (on /d/ and /aco/, because I don't have an issue going to both) against the split than anywhere else. Of course I was all for the split, as I've said.
>Weaboos deserve to be lynched like niggers.

What the fuck is alternative about shortstacks or big butts? It's normal shit.
Hell, the robot girls and xenos are generally just girls in costumes or bodypaint as well- monstergirls in essence.

Yes, you can't read. You're just sitting here bumping this thread trying to get a Hiro response, but you ignore everything else that's going on here. Of course he's going to ignore you in return. Fuck you.
